AN: Yay it's day 11, I hope everyone enjoys
Digimon Tamers: Hazards Drabbles
Chapter 11: Hope
Shinjuku, Japan
Very often in life Rika had been told the same thing, the most powerful thing humanity has is hope.
Hope helps people get through hard times in their lives and gives people something to believe in.
Sometimes hope could be something physical or it could be metaphorical, it didn't really matter.
Rika knew in the world that some people didn't believe in hope, they had been beaten down on life and had given up.
At one point in her life she had given up on hope, that is until she met her friends and Renamon.
They inspired her to believe in hope again. She eventually came to realize how powerful it was, afterall there was a reason hope was one of the stronger crests in the anime.
Hope prevented her from giving in during some of her hardest moments, without it she probably wouldn't be alive.
Eventually she figured out that hope was the strongest thing they could give to their partners, it fueled them and sure being strong was nice but hope was definitely more important.
Shockingly Takato always believed in hope, he claims that it was what kept him going during his harder moments in life.
He was a firm believer in it's always darkest before the light. Rika could never understand it, now it wasn't a bad thing that Takato believed in hope, but due to his personality it was hard to believe that he believed in it as much as he did.
She asked him once why and he said it was because he met the digidestined once and TK taught him to always keep hope.
She still isn't sure if he was messing with her or the TV show actually happened in some other reality, which prompted the question if Takato had visited other realities but she'd never get a straight answer out of him.
Still she supposed she learned from him that hope was always important. Eventually she learned she has a lot of hopes, one day she hopes to become successful enough to never need her mother's money, she hopes that she would always remain in contact with her friends.
But most importantly she hoped that she would always be together with Renamon and Takato. It took her awhile but she had finally realized something, without hope what else do people have?
AN: Alright Day 12 tomorrow so I hope everyone is ready. One last thing I'll let everyone be the judge on whether Takato was joking or not about meeting the digidestined.
